Dedication: Jimmie C. Holland, M.D. (1928–2017)
Psycho-Oncology, 4th edition is solemnly dedicated to Professor Jimmie C. Holland, MD (1928–2017), internationally recognized as the founder of the field of psycho-oncology. Dr. Holland, who was affectionately known by her first name, “Jimmie,” had a profound global influence on the fields of psycho-oncology, oncology, supportive care, psychiatry, behavioral medicine, and psychosomatic medicine. At the time of her passing, Dr. Holland was the Attending Psychiatrist and Wayne E. Chapman Chair at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and Professor of Psychiatry, Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York.
In 1977, Jimmie was appointed Chief of the Psychiatry Service in the Department of Neurology at MSK, by Jerome Posner, MD, then Chairman of Neurology at MSK. The Psychiatry Service at MSK was the first such clinical, research, and training service established in any cancer center in the world. In 1996, Dr. Holland was named the inaugural Chairwoman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at MSK—again, the first such department created in any cancer center in the U.S. or the world. Dr. Holland had over a 40-year career at MSK.
Jimmie created and nurtured the field of psycho-oncology, established its clinical practice, advanced its clinical research agenda, and, through her pioneering efforts, launched the careers of the leaders of a worldwide field who continue to work in what has become a shared mission to emphasize “care” in cancer care. Dr. Holland founded the International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS) in 1984 and the American Psychosocial Oncology Society in 1986. Over 25 years ago, Jimmie founded the international journal Psycho-Oncology and coedited the journal for 30 years.
Dr. Holland received many awards recognizing her achievements over the course of her career. Some of her notable awards include the Medal of Honor for Clinical Research from the American Cancer Society, the Clinical Research Award from the American Association of Community Cancer Centers, the American Association for Cancer Research Joseph H. Burchenal Clinical Research Award, the Marie Curie Award from the Government of France, the Margaret L. Kripke Legend Award for contributions to the advancement of women in cancer medicine and cancer science from the MD Anderson Cancer Center, the T. J. Martell Foundation 2015 Women of Influence Award, and the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Baylor College of Medicine in 2016. She served as President of the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine (APM) in 1996 and was the recipient of the APM’s Hackett Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994. She was the inaugural recipient of the Arthur Sutherland Award for Lifetime Achievement from IPOS.
This 4th edition of Psycho-Oncology is the first edition of this text that has not been edited by Dr. Holland. In 1989, Dr. Holland edited the Handbook of Psychooncology: Psychological Care of the Patient with Cancer, the first major textbook in our field. This landmark book was notable for several reasons; it established our “new” field, and it was the first use, in a text, of the term “psychooncology” to name our field (thankfully the hyphen was soon added). Psycho-oncology was thus born and named with the publication of this textbook. Subsequently, Dr. Holland edited, with a group of dedicated coeditors, several editions of what became known as the “Bible” of psycho-oncology or, in many circles, the “Holland Textbook of Psycho-oncology.” The textbook Psycho-Oncology was published in 1998 and represented the most comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and international encyclopedia of a field entering its adolescence. The year 2010 saw the publication of the 2nd edition, followed by the 3rd edition in 2015, both published by Oxford University Press in collaboration with IPOS and APOS. Every card-carrying “psycho-oncologist” in over 60 countries with national psycho-oncology societies around the world had to have the latest edition in their library. For many it represented a valued link to Jimmie Holland. The task of editing this 4th edition of Psycho-Oncology without Jimmie’s firm guidance and wise counsel was daunting for all of us, but we were all deeply inspired to do so because of our loving debt to Jimmie. The torch has been passed.
Dedication: Ruth McCorkle, PhD, RN, FAAN (1941–2019)
In January 1975, a 33-year-old Ruth McCorkle, a newly minted PhD from the University of Iowa and a new assistant professor at the University of Washington, met Jimmie C. Holland at a conference on the behavioral dimensions of cancer that was organized by the National Cancer Institute in San Antonio, Texas. This meeting began a lifelong friendship and collaboration, not least of which was this book.
Ruth McCorkle died on August 17, 2019, in her home in Hamden, CT, from cancer. At the time of her death, she was the Florence Schorske Wald Professor of Nursing Emerita at Yale University.
From the earliest days of her career, Ruth was interested in the lived experiences of people diagnosed with cancer, including the effects of touch on the seriously ill and how the attachments and goals of patients undergoing treatment for lung cancer—and their families—changed over time. At the University of Washington, she and Jeanne Quint-Benoliel developed the first multidisciplinary cancer unit in which patients and their families would be seen from the time of diagnosis through the dying experience by an interprofessional team.
It was on this unit, in the mid 1970’s, that she developed the first scale that measured the distress cancer patients experienced, the Symptom Distress Scale. As a student of history, she learned of how Sir William Osler had taken field notes on his dying experience, in which he wrote that, because he had “no actual pain,” he felt “singularly free from mental distress” as he was dying. In the early 1970’s, when Ruth had gone to London to study with Dame Cicely Saunders at St. Christopher’s Hospice, she was introduced to the British psychiatrist J. M. Hinton and his now justly famous qualitative work on associations between dying patients’ physical and mental distress. From Saunders and Hinton, and from Osler’s field notes, Ruth began to see that patients’ mental distress could be related to their physical symptoms. She thus became interested in the points at which a physical symptom becomes emotionally unbearable. Hence, her scale measured the presence of a symptom as well as how distressed a patient was by it. The development of the Symptom Distress Scale led to her intervention.
She developed and tested in 7 National Institutes of Health-funded clinical trials the Standardized Nursing Intervention Protocol, an intervention in which an advanced practice cancer nurse helped patients and families learn to manage distressing symptoms. In a breakthrough, one of those trials resulted in a 7-month survival benefit.
We will read much about distress in this 4th edition of Psycho-Oncology. For the importance of identifying and intervening on the sources of cancer patients’ distress—and even for the presence of the word “distress” in the psycho-oncologic lexicon—we have Ruth—and Jimmie—to thank.
Ruth ended the last article she wrote with this: “. . . patients’ physical needs must be addressed before their psychosocial problems are identified. It is not just about taking care of their physical needs first. Rather, it is that we may be creating distress by not doing so.” Over the last 6 weeks of her life, she instructed her hospice care providers on how to manage her physical needs, and her close friends and family provided the physical touch she knew would comfort her emotionally. In this experience, one can find the truth of Ruth’s entire scientific career.
In this 4th edition of Psycho-Oncology, you will find this truth woven into the science the book reports on: For Ruth, psycho-oncology was not just about how to support patients and families living with cancer. It was also about enabling them to have deaths “singularly free from mental distress.” It is thus fitting that, along with Jimmie C. Holland, we dedicate this edition to Ruth McCorkle.
